The LAPT makes a welcome return to Costa Rica where in Season 1 Valdemar Kwaysser, a PokerStars qualifier from Budapest, Hungary, turned $200 into close to $280,000, when he took down the second Latin American Poker Tour event.
He bettered his previous highest win, a $133,634 score for third in the Sunday Million on PokerStars in May 2007, and did so with flair, aggression, humility and, by his own admission, the occasional moment of good fortune.
LAPT Playa Conchal Season 3 will be held at the Paradisius Playa Conchal Resort from November 19 – 22, 2009. The buy-in will be $2,500+$200 with the field capped at 350 participants.
